Mini-Mummy Pizzas

4 English muffins
½ cup pizza sauce

Nothing says ‘BOO’ for breakfast like a toasted Halloween Ghost! This is a great chance for little ones to get involved in the kitchen. They love to use their own butter knife to spread the whipped cream cheese. And add the raisins to make ghost faces.

Toasty Ghosty

White bread (1 slice per ghost)
Whipped cream cheese
Raisins or currants

For each ghost, toast a slice of white bread. Cut out a ghost shape from the slice of toast freehand or use a gingerbread girl cookie cutter.
When the cutouts have cooled, spread on a generous coating of whipped cream cheese
For eyes and mouths, add raisins.
